Thank you, Madam Speaker. Again, the honourable Minister who I would like to direct my question to is not in the House, this is the Health Minister, Madam Speaker. In his absence, I will direct my question to the Premier. Madam Speaker, in 1975, the health centre in Gjoa Haven was built, according to the information I got from that community. During the last two weeks I had the opportunity to visit the community and his worship, the mayor, personally took me around the facility. According to my observations at that time, it seems that community needs a new health facility. They are running out of space in that particular building. Madam Speaker, there is a plan for extension of that facility in the years 1994 and 1995, but after talking with the hamlet council, I was informed the hamlet council would like to get a new facility instead of an extension because the community of Gjoa Haven is the fastest growing community, not only in the region, but within the jurisdiction of this government. My question to the Minister is, would the honourable Minister look into the problem and perhaps consider building a new facility? Thank you.
